Improve your internet speed for Apple devices

In most cases the internet comes to a hold because of a synchronization process in the background. This can be something like iCloud Backup, iCloud Drive, iCloud Photo Library. In many cases it can be linked back to a home of visitors with various smartphones and tablets, which are in the background syncing the photos and videos to the cloud and back to the gadgets. This can generate extreme amounts of data traffic. Apart from slowing down the internet speed during the sync process it could also mean that your monthly data limit is used up before the end of the month, resulting in the connection blocked, or having to pay extra for the usage.
